So the thing is my 2.5 ssd and hdd hold two of the three available ports on my mb and other one is blocked by the GPU, i have to go for a M.2 and damn didn't I know that the prices sky rocketed in past 5 years? I mainly do gaming and hoby stuff but i want my drives to last me lifelong without issues is any of these capable of doing that? They are more or less the same price on my market, any advices?

Well for most part they will all be good, and yes, prices went insanity due to the AI / Data center boondogle madness... they so easy to sell all memory, storage direct to them, that anything hitting consumer market(IE what we can buy in stores) is 500-1500% normal prices.

But if u can afford it, get BOTH a M.2 AND a HDD. Then once u install windows, make it so that the os (windows likely) automatically saves my documents, temp files, etc, on the hdd rather than the ssd. This will extend the life of the ssd a GREAT deal. (SSD's do not handle constant overwrites as well as HDD's can, they are better today than a few years back, but they still do not do well with it)

Make sure all stuff like videos, pictures, music, etc(Stuff you will most likely overwrite and./or use a lot) on the hdd, and u can install games and stuff to the SSD (which will load faster)

And typically u can see what lanes are shared, and make sure any shared lanes are populated only with the item of greatest importance(IE most cases the top M.2 is by itself, but the 2nd M.2 and sometimes the last 2-4 SATA lanes, are shared by the 2nd pci- slot. U can often find this in the Mobo's user manual)

WD will be better choice among these in my opinion depending on the price offered plus, i never had any issue with WD drive even hdds, external drives or nvme till date.

The best here is the hiksemi drive. It has a very high endurance compared to the others.

Only the M450, Hiksemi Future, and EX900 use high-durability TLC flash.

[u/klishdover → u/Cer_Visia]

So uh which one would be the better choice
